SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.

414,466, dated November 5, 1889.

Application filed May 21, 1889. Serial No. 311,583. (No model.)

To all 1071.011@ t may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID S. lVHlTE, of I-Iuntley, in thecounty ofMcHenry and State of Illinois, have invented a new and ImprovedGhange-Deliyery Apparatus, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

This invention relates to a ohangefdelivery apparatus, the object-of theinvention being to obviate the necessity of picking up change from acounter; and to the end named the invention consists, essentially, oftwo pivotallymounted plates or leaves, a hopper arranged beneath saidleaves, and a means for raising the leaves, all as will be hereinafterfully def scribed, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar gu res of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved change-delivery apparatus. Fig. 2is a central sectional elevation thereof, the view being taken on line:t of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the apparatus online y y of Fig. 1. y

In the drawings, 10 represents a base-plate of any proper form, whichsaid base-plate is preferably provided with rubber or elastic feet 11,said feet being provided to prevent the marring of the counter or othersupport upon which the apparatus is placed. To the base-plate 10 aresecured upwardly-extending standards l2, that are formed with aperturesadapt-ed to receive the extending ends of hinge-pin tles 13. The hinges14., in connection with which the pintles 13 are arranged, are securedto blocks 15, that .serve as supports for semicircular flanged plates orleaves 16, which said plates normally rest in the position in which theyare shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The standards 12 carry inw. rally-extendingprojections 17, upon which an oval bottonlless hopper` 18 is mounted,the hopper being formed drawings.

with flaring sides, as shown inthe To the under faces of the leaves orplates 16, I secure eyes 1.9,that are enga-ged by rods 20, Which carry arin fr 2l, the arrangement being such that by placing the hand againstthe under edge of the ring and pressing upward the leaves or plates willbe moved to the position in which they are shown in Fig. 3, and anychange that may have been deposited upon the plates will slide therefromand into the hopper 1S, to pass thence into the hand of the personraising the ring, as will be readily understood.

' The hinges i4 may be secured to the upper faces of the blocks 15, asrepresented in Fig. 1; or the hinges may be secured to the approachingfaces of said blocks, as represented in Figs. 2 and 3. To impart aproper finish to the apparatus,I prefer to provide the ends of thepintles 13 With screw-caps 22.

Such an apparatus as the one above described provides for the quick andeasy delivery ot' change, and obviates the delay incident to the pickingup of change from the counter.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. The oombination,with pivotally-mounted flangedplates or leaves, of a hopper rigidly mounted beneath said leaves, rodsconnected to the leaves, and a ring carried by the rods, the ring beingarranged beneath the hopper.

2. The combination, with pivotally-mounted plates or leaves, of a hopperrigidly mounted beneath said leaves, rods connected to the leaves, and aring carried by the rods, the ring being arranged beneath the hopper,substantially as described.

3. The combination, with a pair of pivotally mounted and iianged leaves,of a hopper mounted beneath the leaves, and a ring provided Withupwardly-extending rods that are connected to the leaves by eyes,substantially as described. DAVID S. W'HITE.
